Taste: Madagascar dark chocolate · dried blueberries · light floral

Agropecuaria Hellen was established by William Mora Moreno in 2017. His daughter Helena Mora now leads the operation. They preserve 50% of the farm as natural forest, a deliberate choice that shapes the soil, the microclimate, and the cup.

Specializing in anaerobic and natural processing, Helena is producing some of the most complex naturals in Costa Rica.

El Mudo was our first purchase from Costa Rica. This coffee is why we kept sourcing from there.

We're visiting the farm later this year.

About the farm

Two women in the rural Gakenke District of north Rwanda meet each other on the road and one greets the other with and encouragement "Hinga Kawa" or "cultivate coffee" and the other will respond "Umugore mw'iterambere" or "women in development". This community mantra has led this community from poverty post-genocide to producing high quality, organic, fair trade coffee through years of meticulous effort.

How we care

We work directly with the farmers at Hinga Kawa to ensure we pay premium price for premium coffee. For every coffee bag sold, we are able to ensure a measurable social impact.

One does not simply brew El Mudo

First off, me - an amateur. So take everything (but the coffee) with a grain of salt.

I accidentally bought whole beans - so I accepted my fate and bought a coffee grinder as well.

I messed this up 2-3 times before I could drink it. The first few times, it was so sour my fresh oat milk curdled immediately (sorry, I'm a filthy milk drinker). But mama raised a self-blaming individual, so I wasn't going to give up on the beans that easily!

After all, I tried Dash coffee at an event, and it completely changed my view on what coffee can be - so surely they knew what they were doing selling El Mudo - I sure didn't.

So through experimentation, here's my recipe:

- Grinder - Timemore Chestnut C3s Pro
- Boiler - Hario Zebrang Metal Drip Kettle 1.2 l on induction stove.
- Dripper - Hario Tetsu Kasuya 02
- Filters - cheap bleached filters from Lidl
- Cheap kitchen scale to track my millilitres.

Results may vary based on your equipment: 1:15 ratio (Total: 300ml water / 20g coffee). Set the grinder on 16 clicks - on the coarser side. Make sure your kettle is hot hot HOT! I kept putting my kettle on and off the stove between pours.

[ Pour 1: 40ml ] ──> Let drain completely
[ Pour 2: 80ml ] ──> Let drain completely
[ Pour 3: 60ml ] ──> Let drain completely
[ Pour 4: 60ml ] ──> Let drain completely
[ Pour 5: 60ml ] ──> Let drain completely

Yes, I know, that's a lot of pouring work - but it was worth it. I invited an ADHD friend over who takes baths in cheap coffee and asked him what he thinks - said this was the 2nd best cup of coffee of his life! And considering my coffee skills - massive win!

Good luck, everyone! And I wouldn't mind Dash posting more at-home recipes <3

Ihan ok, mutta odotin enemmän

Vähän yllättynyt että tämä voitti parhaan espresson palkinnon. Kahviin tulee melko voimakas punaviinimainen maku, joka ei minusta kuulu kahviin. Onko tähän joku oma resepti jota noudattamalla kahvin saa loistamaan?

Hei,

kiitos palautteesta, tämä on todella hyödyllistä!

Se punaviinimainen maku jonka mainitset on itse asiassa yksi El Mudon tunnusomaisista piirteistä, ja se on suoraan seurausta natural anaerobic -fermentaatioprosessista. Kyse ei ole virheestä, mutta ymmärrän täysin että se voi tuntua vieraalta jos on tottunut perinteisempiin espressokahveihin.

Hyvä uutinen on, että kun kahvi on oikein dialattu, se punaviininen terävyys pehmenee ja tilalle tulee syvä, hillomainen makeus. Muutama asia jota kannattaa kokeilla:

Jauha huomattavasti hienommaksi kuin normaalisti. El Mudo vaatii selvästi hienomman jauhon kuin useimmat espressokahvit, myös muut pienpaahtimokahvit. Jos jauhatus on liian karkea, kahvi uuttuu vajaasti ja happamat ja fermentaatiosta tulevat maut dominoivat.

Käytä 18 grammaa tai hieman yli. Pienempi annos tekee profiilin terävämmäksi.

Ota ulos noin 40–44 grammaa valmista juotavaa. Pidempi uutto tasoittaa makua ja tuo makeuden esiin.

Uuttoaika noin 28–32 sekuntia on hyvä tavoite.

Tämä kahvi palkittiin juuri siksi, että oikein dialattuna se tekee jotain mitä harvat kahvit tekevät. Mutta se vaatii kärsivällisyyttä löytää se piste.

An excellent coffee

This coffee lives up to it's bold flavor. The fermentation is deep and funky with this one. It tastes to me closer to an anaerobic coffee, bold and thick. I use this in a v60 and espresso machine it suits well for both. Excellent in a flat white but in the v60 I diluted it a bit more to smooth it out. Recommended for an interesting experience.

Kahvissa on kova hapokkuus tai joku muu vastaava

Kahvissa on kova hapokkuus tai joku muu vastaava, niin kuin vahva sitrus. Minun suuni ei tykkää siitä ollenkaan. Se on minulle juomakelvotonta.

Tämä ei ole ensimmäinen kerta kun olen kokeillut tämän makuisia papuja ja ne ovat jääneet juomatta.

Olen pahoillani että annoin teille matalan arvosanan, mutta minä en pysty juomaan tätä kahvia.Se on minulle pahaa.

Hei, kiitos rehellisestä palautteesta — arvostamme sitä todella.

Olet täysin oikeassa mausta — Costa Rica El Mudo on tarkoituksella kirkas ja hapokas kahvi, jossa on vahva sitrusluonne. Mielenkiintoista kyllä, juuri ne rohkeat ja monitahoiset maut voittivat sille parhaan espresso-kahvin palkinnon Helsinki Coffee Festivalilla — mutta tiedostamme, että se tyyli ei sovi kaikille, ja se on ihan ok.

Haluaisimme hyvittää kokemuksen. Ruandan Hingakawa Washed on luonteeltaan aivan erilainen — pehmeämpi, mehevämpi ja paljon tasapainoisempi. Jos haluat kokeilla, otetaan yhteyttä niin järjestetään asia kuntoon. 🙏
